no longer ordinary friends

Jiang Li and Zhou Bingcheng returned to Beicheng that night, and both of them still had jobs.

Before Zhou Bingcheng left, he asked Cai Mei to find a respected old man in the village to choose an auspicious day. First, he wanted to get engaged and then get married. He added: "It's best this year."

Jiang Li's hand was held in his hand, and his nails pinched his palm. The end of the year is coming soon, so there is no holiday, she has to work.

Cai Mei also felt that it should be earlier, no matter what, she had to get engaged first this year.

After the two got into the car, Jiang Li became a little angry: "Then do we have to come back again before the New Year? I have many projects to do next."

Zhou Bingcheng's temper was first tempered by Zhou Zhicheng, and now by Jiang Li. He said: "Don't worry, we only need two days to get engaged. This is a very important ceremony. You can choose a day that is convenient for you. There are still holidays to adjust this year.”

His hands clasped her fingers tightly, he rubbed her ring, and continued: "You were at my house this morning, we just left from my house again, there are many acquaintances sitting at the entrance of the small shop, they all saw it, You know, living in the man's house when you are unmarried, and after your mother has a quarrel, they will look at you with strange eyes."

Jiang Li followed the strength of his arm and leaned on his shoulder. After a long time, he slowly said: "It's too fast, I always feel like I'm going to get married suddenly."

"Isn't that fast? How many years has it been?" Zhou Bingcheng's tone was calm but serious, "I'm serious since I contacted you again, and you don't have to do so much, just take a few steps closer to me when you have time." , if you are afraid of getting married, then we will continue to live together for a while, and then we will get a certificate and hold a wedding next year, but we have to get engaged this year, and we must first give the bride price to your mother."

Anyway, it's already a good result now, and he also knows that she is afraid of these storms and tends to shrink back.

He asked her to close her eyes and rest, and added: "Engagement is to silence the mouths of the neighbors and folks. Having an engagement ceremony is more important to us than receiving a red book."

Jiang Li's lips moved a little, trying to insist that she was in Beicheng, so she wasn't afraid.

Unexpectedly, he turned his head and looked down at her, their faces were very close, he smiled, as if he had seen through her thoughts, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, I will be a good husband. "

He didn't mention Dad because he had to learn to be a good husband first.

He humbly asked everyone in Zhou's small group.

Zhou Zhicheng: "The first rule of a good husband is not to kidnap your wife with childbirth, and respect your wife's childbearing wishes and career plans."

Zhou Guohua sent a voice: "I will make delicious food for my wife."

Cai Mei also said in the voice: "Love my wife, earn a lot of money, husband and wife should talk well if they have something to say."

The last one was Jiang Xianghuai, he sent three words: "Love my wife."

Zhou Bingcheng asked: "Who pulled him in and kicked him out? Who is the leader of our family?" He glanced at him, and it was still Grandpa. How could Grandpa know how to operate WeChat? .

As a result, the group leader ruthlessly sent a voice message: "You can quit if you are not happy."

Where would Zhou Bingcheng withdraw, he also pulled Jiang Li in, and changed the group name "Grandpa and Grandma's Two Treasures" to "Grandpa and Grandma's Three Treasures".

After a while, that "three" silently became "four", changing the person, Jiang Xianghuai.

In the next few days, Zhou Bingcheng really wanted to block this group. He watched Grandpa post Jiang Xianghuai's small videos for several days, and couldn't help but ask, "Grandpa, have you become a fan of Jiang Xianghuai?"

Grandpa Zhou replied with a full of air in his voice: "Looking at the gentleman, he is quite good at moving goods."

Zhou Bingcheng clicked on a video, and Jiang Xianghuai helped to unload a box of Wanglaoji from the truck, and asked, "Grandpa, where do I put this box?"

Grandpa told him when the camera turned.

There are many other people's voices in the video.

"The people from this big city are not squeamish, they are quite capable, old man Zhou, your store has an heir."

"The young guy is strong, except for being a little particular, he moved a load, wore gloves, and separated the cloth."

Grandpa Zhou was not convinced: "This is cleanliness, boys and girls must love cleanliness."

Zhou Bingcheng reminded Jiang Li to watch these videos. This is Jiang Xianghuai who Jiang Li has never seen before. He lost the indifference of rejecting people thousands of miles away. Khan, it's not ashamed, it's just that he has more popularity, more real and attractive.

Cai Mei has always been thinking about Jiang Xianghuai's bad stomach. Knowing that he brought the stomach medicine prescribed by the big hospital, he didn't let him go to the county hospital. He just cooked different soups for him every day, and they were not allowed to go outside. Mess with restaurants, if it is not convenient for a few people to come back to eat at noon when they work in the law firm, she will send meals to the law firm.

On this day, several people were eating lunch delivered by Cai Mei at the law firm.

The three interns have recently been doing legal duty consultations, both offline and online. The offline ones are basically about family matters in the county town, and there are more private messages online. Some people ask about rape, and some ask about murder. , although I don't know if it's true or not, but some of them are really disgusting.

Ye Bai said: "A man was ashamed to call me, saying that he had a friend who was a courier who raped an underage girl while delivering the goods, and was released on bail pending trial. He also asked, can he be innocent? How can this be innocent? If you just open your mouth and spit shit, this friend can’t be him, right? I really want to tell him that there is no way to save him, and he should be sentenced to death.”

Young Master Zhao was excited when he heard this: "Why didn't you come to me, let me scold him."

Ye Bai was angry: "What's the use of looking for you, your Mingdi's lawyer Lu criticized me at that time."

She imitated Lu He's serious tone at the time, and said in a strange tone: "No one can be guilty without a verdict. When a criminal suspect asks for help from a lawyer, he still has his basic human rights. Let the lawyer be within the scope of the law based on the facts. Defending him, lawyers do not represent justice, defense lawyers only protect fairness and justice from the perspective of procedures and systems.”

She smiled: "Who wouldn't say these words? We also know that we don't have the perspective of God, so we can't know the truth, and we also know that lawyers must have professional ethics, but what this person said is so disgusting, why can't I say it? I also rejected him, and told him that our lawyers don’t accept such criminal cases, can I criticize him morally? Lawyer Lu is so idealistic.”

Lu He took a look at Ye Bai, and felt that even though they got along fairly peacefully recently, the two of them really couldn't communicate because the three views were fundamentally different. In addition, Ye Bai was sometimes like a frog in a well. For example, she generalized to be a lawyer. It’s that experience is more important than academic qualifications. If you handle a case three years earlier, you can far surpass those who are graduate students. She seems to have no idea that most law firms outside require graduate students to start. What she’s talking about is limited to small law firms in county towns. , Bring your own case source, and you have to be a director or a teaching lawyer with a relatively average degree of education.

Zhao Yanjia is not interested in this kind of debate. Being a criminal defense lawyer requires a strong sense of professional responsibility. They only have legal evaluations of criminal suspects, but not moral evaluations. The realization of legal fairness and justice requires such brave defense lawyers who insist on ideals.

Of course Ye Bai is right, she doesn't do criminal proceedings, she starts from her simple values ​​as an ordinary person.

Zhao Yanjia asked: "Then you must support the death penalty faction, right?"

Ye Bai: "Of course."

"Lu He, what about you?"

Lu He didn't bother to answer, he raised his head and poured mineral water.

Zhao Yanjia asked his brother again, but Jiang Xianghuai didn't answer, but he also supported the death penalty in his heart. Some serious crimes like murder do require the death penalty as the price.

And Zhou Zhicheng smiled and said, "We are working on small civil cases, and we are also starting to discuss such serious legal topics? It seems that our group has an academic atmosphere of legal professionals, which is worthy of encouragement."

Ye Bai was also amused.

Jiang Xianghuai knew without asking that Zhou Zhicheng must support the death penalty, because her legal views have always been very simple, and the debate on the abolition of the death penalty is too far away. She doesn't care about illusory, fraternal human rights, or distant fairness and justice. What matters is the specific people in her case or who came to her for help.

The program team was going to do a special feature on juvenile delinquents. Among the people Zhou Zhicheng helped, in addition to the two he saw in the juvenile prison last time, there were three people who had returned to normal life. They all agreed to participate in the filming.
